Thank you

Thank you so much attorney Mitchell Dean for helping me through a difficult time. You were very supportive, patient and an amazing lawyer. I must not have pursued the divorce process without you. Mitch went above and beyond in handling my case. Very extremely knowledgeable, kept me well informed and ...explained in details all the steps and forms in the legal process all the times. Highly recommend Atty. Dean. THANK YOU to Merel Family Law team for helping me start a new life. Highly appreciated.

Great Experience and Great Result

I could not be happier with my experience working with Mitch. I had a terrible experience with my first lawyer that I hired for my divorce. Everything was going in my ex's favor mainly due to poor communication between myself and my lawyer. I luckily made the switch Jonathan Merel's office just in ti...me. I wish I worked with them from the beginning, but they did an excellent job of turning things around for me. Mitch was a big part of this with his expert knowledge and guidance. He was always there to answer my questions and help advise me on how to speed up the divorce process while achieving a desirable outcome. I highly recommend Mitch to anyone that needs excellent representation during the divorce process.

The hero you need

Mitch was my second attorney. The first had dropped the ball on some legal proceedings. I wish I had come to Mitch and his firm first. He immediately got to work and put my divorce back on track, including helping reduce my child support and negotiate fair terms for separation. He moved the process f...orward and got me divorced in less than year from taking over, something my previous lawyer failed to do. Mitch is highly knowledgeable and took the time to help me understand many of the legal processes, even if I did not like them. He is patient, understanding, knowledgable, and quick on his feet. This can be a very emotional and mentally draining process. Mitch will see you all the way through!

Dependable, Empathetic and highly effective legal action

Mitch provided me with efficient and professional counsel for a challenging divorce case. Him and Brad went above and beyond in their efforts, providing dependable, empathetic and highly effective legal action. I would strongly recommend their services and I am very grateful I was referred to them.
